The game scales are a great way to teach basic physics concepts of load dispersal, not just to grownups but also to kids.

I just found your site and your calculator, which I promptly purchased and downloaded.

Being a camper (single, with family and otherwise) all my life, and having gone to ham mocking during the last decade, I adore creating and testing new gear ideas. Yes, I have re-invented the wheel a few times ( e.g., I just saw the CCS Lean,..it looks almost exactly like a hammock-friendly version of mine), but have always had a blast in the process.

Encouraging you to keep u the great work…and your sense of humor (for all your sakes).

Blessings…

How far apart are the walls? In the “wild,” a span of 12 to 15 feet is ideal, thus providing enough room for hammock and tarp. Most bedrooms are within these limits (unless you live in a mansion, in which case we should talk about sponsorship 😉

Most hardware stores sell 3/8 inch steel eye bolts. They had a safety rating of 325 lbs and are easily installed. Simply drill a hole into the wall and studs and then screw in the bolt.
